“This tie-in will see FOXSports.com and PokerStars.net combine the best live and editorial content with the web’s best online poker games,” said PokerStars.net North America Regional Marketing Director Joe Versaci.
FOXSports.com is one of the most popular sports news sites in the US, ranked in the Top 100 websites in the country, according to Alexa. PokerStars.net’s portal and game application hosted on FOXSports.com will provide a free-play poker client as well as news, tournament results, poker strategy and rules.
Jim Bernard, vice president of gaming at FOX Sports Interactive, added: “FOX Sports is thrilled to team up with PokerStars.net. Poker enthusiasts are some of the most fanatical and engaged sports fans on the web today. We look forward to delivering the poker experience to our 26 million users.”
PokerStars recently pulled out of the US state of Washington following the Supreme Court’s verdict to uphold its decision to prohibit egaming.
